Editor’s Update Sunday June 25th 9:30 PM: From Everett Fire Tonight, Two patients, a female in her 60s and a second adult female (unknown age) remain hospitalized in critical condition. A male in his 50s was treated and released from the hospital.
A mass-casualty incident was called to bring sufficient resources to the scene.
Everett Firefighters are just clearing the scene of a multi casualty incident (MCI) at the Vintage Apartments – 1001 E Marine View Drive after three subjects overdosed.
At 8pm this evening, Everett Fire was dispatched to the Vintage Apartments for a report of multiple people overdosing in an apartment. Fire crews arrived on scene to find three patients in one of the apartments and immediately started providing life-saving care, including administering NARCAN.
Because overdoses stop people from breathing, first responders use oxygen, artificial ventalation, and other respiratory support to try and prevent death.
A total of three patients were transported to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett – two in critical condition and one in stable condition.
Due to the number of patients, the incident was upgraded to a Multiple Casualty Incident (MCI) which brought mutual aid assistance from South County Fire, Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue and Snohomish County Fire District #22. Everett Police Department officers also assisted on scene.
